Grease Gun?

[Siamese]

I'm in the process of installing a Mor Ryde Wet Bolt suspension upgrade on my 2017, 26BH.

I don't own a grease gun, and don't know much about them. As I understand it, the wet bolts require a fair amount of pressure from a grease gun, so I want to be sure to get a gun that has the oomph to get the job done.

The install is going smoothly, by the way. We had trouble driving the bronze bushings into the stock equalizer, as the casting was really rough on the inside where they go. We decided to heck with that, and ordered the fancy Mor Ryde equalizer that has the rubber shock absorber inside it, and already has the bronze bushings installed. Fortunately, the ends of the leaf springs accept the bronze bushings very smoothly.

So...what's a good grease gun, and while we're at it, anyone has any good tips for getting the wet bolts lubed. I've heard that jacking it up to get the weight off the suspension can be helpful.

Without spending too much money for something that won't be used that often, I went to O'Reilly and got this one. Their site doesn't have many good reviews on it but other websites are saying this is best bang for the buck.

I always take reviews with a grain of salt in situations like this because most people want to complain rather than praise.

I really like mine so far and have used it for my trailer hubs as well as my Power Wagon greasable bits.

I am having trouble lubing my wetbolts. Had them installed last year and wanted to hit them with grease. First problem, could not get grease gun behind tires. Got a 90 degree adapter, couldn't press grease in. Dealer is willing to check it out, but says the tires need to come off. So, second problem. Why weren't they installed with zerks inside instead of facing out? Would be clean shot from underneath.

Yeah, it sounds like they could've served you better by having the zerks face in instead of out. If in, all you'd have to do is crawl under the trailer. Out, and you're right, those darned tires are in the way.
